# Multiple overlays and layers
Multiple Overlays

You can set up the event to insert more than one static overlay. Overlays are stored in the event in a queue that has a maximum of 8 layers. 

This means that you can display up to: 
+ 8 static overlays if you are using only the web interface to set up the event. 
+ As many static overlays as you want over the duration of the event if you are using the REST API. See [Step C: Manage overlays on a running event](step-c-manage-overlays-on-a-running-event.md). A maximum of 8 static overlays can be “queued” at one time (one in each layer).
